Molting in snakes involves shedding their outer layer of skin in one piece, while molting in arthropods involves shedding their exoskeleton in multiple stages. Snakes shed their skin to accommodate growth and remove parasites, while arthropods molt to grow and repair damage to their exoskeleton. Additionally, molting in snakes is generally less frequent compared to arthropods.
Yes. In most arthropods, molting occurs at the end of every juvenile phase to allow the individual to accumulate more mass and bigger size while still retaining the exoskeleton. Molting usually ends once the animal achieves adult size, such as with insects and many arachnids. In other arthropods, such as with crabs, lobsters and tarantulas, molting continues even in adulthood.
Yes.
Arthropods grow bigger by shedding their exoskeleton in a process called molting. After molting, the arthropod secretes a new, larger exoskeleton, which allows it to grow until the next molting cycle. This process continues throughout their lifespan, enabling them to increase in size.
No, they're athropods.
The molting lava started flowing from the volcano. This is an example to the word molting.
The word molting, aka: a dog is molting, this is pronounced like mole-ting.

True, that is the only way crustaceans can increase in size limited by their exoskeleton.
Replacing its feathers
That is the correct spelling of "molting" (also moulting).
